Slowed speed, freezes, high disk usage

After I have been on the computer for about 10-15 minutes, it starts to freeze and slow down. I get a high disk usage message from Norton saying that Windows Explorer Exe. is causing this. I also keep getting the same 5 updates even after I have installed them. I have a Compaq Presario SR5602FH Desktop PC Using windows home basic. Also the Hp updater does not open anymore.

Re: Slowed speed, freezes, high disk usage

Norton is pretty good but you still could have viruses. I don't think you do and I believe it is your hard drive going bad. I would try to run check disk and if your laptop has the utility partition, test your memory and hard drive.
